Kryptonite finally discovered!

The BBC newsite reports that Kryptonite has finally been discovered in a mine in Serbia. It seems that the mineral identified as sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide by Dr Chris Stanley, a mineralogist at London's Natural History Museum, had been reported in the literature – that is, comic book literature, not scientific. The mineral’s atomic structure was conclusively identified thanks to the analytical facilities at Canada's National Research Council and the assistance and expertise of two of its researchers, Dr Pamela Whitfield and Dr Yvon Le Page.

Isn’t it fun when fantasy meets reality?
